It’s hard to believe I have been back in LA for almost 2
months after my trip to NY. Time seems to fly faster and faster these days. I
have been lacking motivation to write lately so I am somewhat behind here.The last 6 weeks has been great. The trip to
NY improved greatly. I sold some things from my apartment, of course not as
much as I had hoped, but isn’t that always the case?

On December 31st of 2009, I handed in my keys to
my Upper East Side studio, and rolled my suitcase to my friend Colleen’s
apartment where I was staying New Year’s Eve night. Cleaning the apartment
alone was surreal. I could not believe 4 months had past, and I was officially
giving up my home of the past 3 years. I was ready to move on from New York,
and be completely in Los Angeles. It was sad when I closed the apartment door
for the last time. I felt as though it was my series finale, which is always a
little sad. I have had some great memories in that apartment. I will always
cherish my time in New York, but I have moved on. Life in California is what I have always
hoped. It was time to be officially a resident of Los Angeles.

By the end of my two week trip to New York/New Jersey I was
ready to return to the home I created for myself in CA, ready to get back to my
friends, my cat, my new boyfriend, and my job search. I took two weeks off
the search for my trip, and now it was time to hit the pavement hard. My goal
was to have a job by the end of the first quarter. Now, we are almost to the
end of February I am not as confident that will happen. The job market is very
tight right now.From what I have been
seeing more jobs available then there was the end of 2009, but I think it takes
time to get through the resumes, and contact candidates. I had a phone
interview this week for a position that didn’t match my background well. The position
may not have been a good fit for my background, but feel the phone interview is
a positive step toward more companies noticing my resume! Hopefully I will be
getting plenty more calls for opportunities that fit my background. I am ready
to get back to the grind, the rat race, the hustle and bustle, more important I
am ready to be a human with spending MONEY!!!! I am so ready to not be poor.
Please bring on the paying jobs, bring on the pay checks! I am ready to live
again!

On The Move ~ Final Destination Los Angeles

This journal is dedicated to my transition from New York to Los Angeles, dealing with it one freak at a time!
Be apart of my journey, as I come to terms with leaving the only place I have ever called home, the Northeast. I am onto bigger, better, and a whole lot warmer.
Get ready to be apart of the experience I have thought about my entire life. This is my time. My move. My moment.
